THANK YOU TO ALL OUR BACKERS!

Set a Watch funded on Day 1 in just a few hours. The campaign went on to unlock all 28 stretch goals including a brand new Adventurer, the Bard! We have announced there will be French, German and Italian versions of the game available in the Pledge Manager.

Set a Watch is a 60 minute, cooperative adventure puzzle game for 1-4 players.

In Set a Watch, you must secure nine locations to prevent the acolytes from breaking the seals holding back the evil Unhallowed. Each round your party will visit a new location and choose an adventurer to rest and take strategic camp actions. The rest of the party will assume watch and confront a line of creatures attempting to breach your camp. Using your dice to do battle and activate unique class abilities, your team will need to approach each round’s combat puzzle with both cunning and resolve. In an epic campaign to stay alive, defeat the arisen Unhallowed, and keep the campfire burning, you must use your wits and skill to fight for the light… or all will perish to darkness.

Deluxe $29

The Deluxe Version gets you everything in the retail game along with Kickstarter Limited Exclusive content and components + ALL UNLOCKED Stretch Goals:

Exclusive Slipcover with UV metallic ink

The Knight Adventurer Class

Laser Engraved Fire Tokens

Set a Watch is played over a series of 9 rounds. Each round you reveal and visit a new location and solve that round's combat puzzle:

After rolling dice, your party will decide who will rest in camp. That player will recover one of their ability cards, and place their dice on camp actions to assist the party members on watch and keep the campfire burning:

The remaining 3 adventurers will face the location's creature line. Creatures are revealed based on the campfire level. Players can use dice of any value to activate their abilities:

or they can combine and use their dice values as a direct attacks to destroy creatures in range:

Any monsters that cannot be defeated will deal damage to the party and accumulate in the Horde to be faced in the final round. When all monsters are defeated or the adventurers’ actions are expended, your party moves to the next location.

Set a Watch includes a wealth of content and has been designed with a ton of replayability in mind. We always like to offer more to our Kickstarter backers and have a lot of cool stretch goals planned for both the retail and deluxe version of the game. If you back now and spread the word... we will be able to squeeze more into each box!

All of the Stretch Goals for this campaign have been unlocked!

Below are previews of the game (in prototype form). They may include characters, creatures or locations that are stretch goals and are not yet unlocked or card text that has changed or will change before the final product. Please follow the links and watch the videos to see what people are saying about the game.

"While the box is small, the game inside is very large. Each turn is filled with agonizing choices as players decides who’s going to camp and which adventurers are best suited to keep watch at the current location with the current line of monsters attacking." - Rob Kalajian (A Pawn's Perspective)

"The unique characters and locations give Set a Watch a lot of replay value and it works really well as a solo game if you just want to kill some time on a lazy evening or before the rest of your game group arrives." - Andrew Smith (BoardGameQuest)

Every backer is important to us, regardless of location, but the reality is that shipping can be very expensive and is a cost we all need to share. We always work to minimize the cost of shipping as much as possible and will provide a shipping discount to ALL backers regardless of region.

We will charge your shipping after the campaign ends through our pledge manager based on the chart above. Shipping is the same for the Deluxe or Retail version.

To keep shipping costs affordable and simple, all rewards for this project will be shipped using customs-friendly shipping. As a result, you should not get hit with customs, brokerage, or import fees. If you do, we will refund you!

A huge thank you to all the playtesters, backers and the Philly Game Makers Guild. This game would not exist without your support and feedback. Thank you!

Risks and challenges

We are fortunate to have gone through the Kickstarter several times before and have consistently delivered our games to our backers before our estimated delivery date. We attribute a lot of this speed to getting all of the core artwork completed upfront and have done the same with this project. We pride ourselves on communicating with our backers and impressing them by meeting deadlines and delivering an excellent product. Please feel free to check out our other Kickstarter projects for samples of our transparency, comments, and process.

PRODUCTION & SHIPPING

We plan on using the same manufacturers and fulfillment pipeline that we have used in the past to minimize complications and ensure a high quality product.

RULES

Draft rules are available now under the Gameplay section. Please provide any feedback on them so that we can finalize the text and the rulebook shortly after the campaign.
